It's not over! Take action for net neutrality today!

The fight for net neutrality isn't over -- yet. On Wednesday, May 16th, 2018
the United States Senate will vote on whether to save net neutrality
and we need you to take action.

Inform yourself and others

In December 2017, the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) voted to
repeal the policies that protected net neutrality.

Rather than merely accepting this, Senator Ed Markey launched a
Congressional Review Act (CRA) to save net neutrality. A CRA allows a
simple majority (more than 50%) of Congress (the Senate and House of
Representatives) to overturn an FCC vote. You can read more about
CRAs on Wikipedia.

Already, 50 senators are supporting the CRA. We need one more vote to
pass this effort to overturn the FCC's ruling.

Take action!

If you're not in the US, let us know your country by updating your
profile so we can send you more relevant info. In the meantime,
please also help us spread the word to your contacts in the US.

This Wednesday, May 9th, call your senator and urge them to vote to
protect net neutrality.

Nervous? Try using the following script:

Hello,
I live in CITY/STATE. I am calling to urge you to support net
neutrality.
I hope SENATOR will do the right thing and vote in for the CRA
to overturn the FCC's repeal of net neutrality protections.
Thank you for your time.

Without a free Web and free Internet, what we -- this includes you --
can do online will be limited by the desires of ISPs like Comcast and
Verizon. They will have the legal right to control which Web sites we
can access and how fast that access will be. This is a major free
software issue: free software as we know it would not exist
without a free Internet and a free Web. The future of free software is
tied to the future of net neutrality.

We're asking you to take the time this Wednesday to call
Congress. Tell your friends and family. Save the Internet.
